Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash: Fast and cost-effective with longer clips
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash：快速、具成本效益且片段更长
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash trades some capability for speed and cost, so teams must decide whether longer clips matter more than peak quality.
Judgment
Teams choosing between Omni 1.2 Flash and higher-quality video models must decide whether 15-second native clips, 30% lower pricing and multi-turn edits justify accepting a Flash-tier model; budget owners should set a quality threshold before defaulting to the cheaper path.
Basis
Anish Nangia, product manager at Google DeepMind, said Omni 1.2 Flash is generally available on Gemini API and Gemini for business with native 15-second video, up from 10 seconds on Omni 1.1, and support for 3–15 seconds in one-second increments. Google cut the price 30% from Omni 1.1 to $0.07 per second for 720p. The cost mechanism is workflow: teams can draft at 360p or 720p, fix details via follow-up edits instead of regenerating a whole clip, then upscale selected outputs to 1080p or 4K. That makes iteration cheaper only if teams avoid full regenerations and reserve upscaling for finalists.

Unclear The source does not quantify quality loss versus Omni 1.1, nor does it give 1080p/4K pricing or per-edit costs.
Next Check the Gemini API pricing page for 1080p/4K rates and whether follow-up edits are billed as separate generations.
